The Hague, The Netherlands (from our trip in July)
This is a continuation of the trip we took in July to Brussels/Bruges/The Hague/Paris. I am trying to catch up on my travel posts since we going on holiday next week. So today, it’s The Hague and tomorrow Paris (finally, Lucylucia, right?) The Hague (Den Haag), The Netherlands Counting back, this is the third time we [...]
Mad King Ludwig’s Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein Castles
Wake up early if you want to visit “Mad” King Ludwig’s castles. From Munich, they’re a little more than two hours via train and bus. Oh, and prepare yourself for the crowds, though I must admit in June they’re not horrible. We took the 7 AM train from Munich to Fussen. That really doesn’t seem [...]
Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site (warning: grim)

Munich, Germany Alte Pinakothek and Pinakothek der [...]
Planning another trip
Oh man, TexasGal‘s got this post up today about Texas Pride. I think I may have to defrost one of my single-size “emergency chili” containers for lunch. Let’s see, what else is going on? We’re finalizing our plans for our Spring Break trip to Germany/Austria. We’ll actually be based in Munich and do day trips [...]
